WHAT IS GDP?
• Practice for ensuring Documentation and Data Integrity Requirements
are met.
• Includes the proper and consistent method for entering data, signing
documents, making corrections and / or changes to documents per
current ISO and FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)
/ Quality System Regulations (QSR).
* Data generated during the conduct of manufacturing or testing activity purely for the purposes of exploration/
feasibility (Advanced R&D) may be exempted from these requirements provided that any activity pertinent to a DHF
or DMR is later repeated and formally documented as described.
Documentation of Data/Record Keeping
• Make entries directly into appropriate study record
• For hand-written records:
• Use a black or blue ink ball-point pen
• Do not use pencil/colored ink other than black or blue.
• Do not use felt tip (water soluble) pens
• Securely affix loose papers into notebooks / auxiliary files
• Label entry with the pertinent information (i.e. project #,
etc.)
• Sign/date lab/production records daily as work progresses
• All empty or blank spaces must be marked with a diagonal
line, and ‘N/A’, or “grayed-out” (for electronic documents)
Documentation of Data/Record Keeping
Arrows or quotation marks to indicate repeated information
are not acceptable.
Each cell should be filled or stricken with N/A as described
Example:
J. Doe 08-10-06 J. Smith 08-04-06
“ “
J. Doe 08-10-05 J. Smith 08-04-06
Data Consistency
Date Format
• What date is 12/02/16? Feb 12 or December 2?
• Due to working with Europe, date must include alpha
characters for the month.
• Day should be 2 characters 01,02, etc
• Year can be 2 or 4 characters.
• Examples of acceptable dating
• 12-Feb-2016
• 12Feb16
• 02Dec16
Data Consistency
Time Entry
• Time entry must be noted to differentiate between AM and
PM
• Noon = 12:00 PM
• Midnight = 12:00 AM
Numeric Data Entry
• All units of measure must be identified with the appropriate
unit of measure. For example:
• Pressure in psi or mmHg
• Temperature in Degrees C or F
• Weights in mg, g, kg, etc.
• Length in inches (unless otherwise specified )
